We discover the ancient limestone formations in an 1-hour underground tour of the Sterkfontein Caves, where the oldest known human fossil was found a few years back. The cave is still an active archaeological site and does not involve hectic crawling-in fact, it is regarded as a very easy walk. The tour includes a drive through the Cradle where you will get to see the unique landscape, the rolling hills of the Magaliesberg mountains and the pristine natural environment. The tour concludes with a 2-hour tour of the Maropeng exhibition center, where you will be taken back into time as we take you on a fascinating tour of how humans developed, learned to make stone weapons, hunted for food and ultimately how we survived as the earth evolved. If history and culture are your thing, then this tour is the ultimate choice.
